Mystery of the Golden Temple (Pack-n-Go Girls Adventures - Thailand #1)

 Linda Travis (Author),                   

 Adam Turner (Illustrator)

Paperback, 118 pages
Published June 17th 2014 by WorldTrek Publishing
ISBN  1936376091 (ISBN13: 9781936376094)
 
 ****I received this book from the Author for Multicultural Children's Book Day (January 27th, 2018). ****
 An enjoyable book. The main character is a girl, Nona May, and she uses some of her Thai language throughout the book which is really cool to see and read. She and her American friend, Jess, solve a mystery about a special family treasure. Lots of action, lots of fun through the book. The writing is simple; but that allows the eagerness and determination of the girls to be the focal point in solving the mystery. Linda Travis wrote her girls as strong, active, spunky, and tenacious. I would definitely recommend this book and series to girls.

Spooky good!
The Haunted House (Disney's Wonderful World of Reading) - Walt Disney Productions

This is a book that my mom read to me and my siblings when I was growing up. I loved hearing her read it to us and now I love to read it to my students. In this book, Mickey, Donald, and Pluto find themselves in a spooky haunted house trying to get some help. They end up finding out that the ghosts that were 'haunting' them were actually bank robbers and they turn them in to the authorities. This is a great book to teach that things are not always as they appear! You always have to dig a little deeper.

 

Use in the classroom: I  would read this during Halloween to give my kiddos a fun, spooky read! 

 

Target grade: kindergarten-1st
